Cairo is the capital of Egypt, a vast city on the river Nile, known as the gateway to the pyramids of Giza. On the edge of the city stand the last survivors of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the pyramids and the Sphinx, while the city itself holds rich collections of pharaonic and Islamic heritage. For Macedonian visitors Cairo is a destination for sightseeing and history, reachable by flight, often combined with the Red Sea or a Nile cruise. The climate is desert, with very hot summers and mild winters, so it is most pleasant to visit in spring and autumn.
